July 22, 2013

MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University women’s volleyball has released its 2013 schedule. New coach Paul Lawson and his Lady Falcons will look to climb up the Conference Carolinas standings after a 10th place finish a year ago.

“We will train hard to enhance the efficiency level in the preseason,” said Lawson, who has 20 years’ experience as a collegiate coach. “We want to bring this team together as one and then transfer our practice play to match play. We will work to be competitive within the conference and move up from there.”

On top of the usual tough conference opponents, Pfeiffer will also compete in some non-conference tournaments. The season opens on Sept. 6 as the Lady Falcons travel to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. and compete in the Nova Southeastern Tournament. Pfeiffer kicks off the season with a 9 a.m. match against Lynn University and conclude the tournament on Sept. 7 against the host Sharks at 4:30 p.m.

The Lady Falcons open conference play on Sept. 20 when they travel to Banner Elk, N.C. to take on Lees-McRae at 7:00 p.m. Pfeiffer ends the season with six straight home matches culminating with the regular season finale against Limestone on Nov. 9 at 12:00 p.m.
